Dark Toys 1/6 Rick Deckard

He’s a ton of fun to pose. Hope their Mad Max turns out this good.

I've been breaking down my CraftOne Heat figures, since the suited versions have never been as impressive as the hockey masked armoured car robbery outfits.

Anyway, yesterday I decided to break down the last suited figure, Lt. Hanna, and his shoes reminded me of Deckard's.

After cross-referencing they turned out to be not accurate at all, but while just a simple plastic mould they looked to be an improvement over the nasty, shiny stock pair, which gave the impression of being dress shoes with their heels.

It has the better painted sculpt from Ebay, and ankle extensions to get him closer to the correct height.

Body swap is easy for Deckard, I used a COO Model 002 for mine.

How do you like the 002 compared to the 001? As Harrison ford was like 185cm at his peak and 002 was supposed to represent 195cm, did it make him too tall or did it give him some more presence?

i swapped sideshow han body woth zytoys s001, he is around that height scale wise or you can try s002 (slightly reddish tone but narrower thighs). those body are cheap and easy to find but comes with neck. you can also use the generic narrow body clones and use longer foot pegs.

hi, i need to know the difference between the good knock off vs the bad, like how to identify the good one vs bad in terms of casting and paint?

I got mine from eBay seller luck-market. It looks great and a huge improvement over the stock head. Look for "Delicate Paint 1/6 Scale Blade Runner Head" on EBay. Good luck, hope you get a good one.

As above, exactly the same.

 

[takesh1k0vacs]

I think I found a taobao link of the same headsculpt that luck-market from eBay is selling for sightly cheaper.

Wondering if anyone wants to give it a shot and see if it's equivalent or the same?

When I pick up this figure and am aiming to upgrade the headsculpt, I'll let you guys know.

I'm not sure what your asking then sorry you want to see a more close up pic of the headsculpt itself?

i want to know how both look like.

 

[BaronVonBlondle]

Aha! Okay...I can tell you in hand that the sculpt that comes with the figure is very waxy/soft looking and the aftermarket one from eBay is sharper/more solid

 

[Random_Retard]

i want to know how both look like.

As far as I know the early run of the knock off was the "good one". Later batches had downgraded painting. You can see it here in this thread as well. People that bought the head early received great looking sculpts with very detailed painting. The folks that were late to the party received the same sculpt sometimes even from the same seller but the painting just didn't look as good anymore. I have both. And you won't really be able to tell the difference from the product pictures alone.

I attached a picture of both of mine. But the light in both pictures is very different so it's not a perfect comparison. In my case the early and "good" version had blue eyes. The later "not so good anymore" version had green eyes. That might be the only way to tell.
